The Piper Cherokee crashed shortly after takeoff along Muddy Creek Forks Road in Chanceford Township around 10:30 a.m., not too far from Baublitz Commercial Airport. The plane's wheels snagged live power lines and sent it crashing into a cornfield.

Two men were on board. The pilot, 20-year-old Randy Shoemaker, and passenger, 61-year-old Laurence Stone, were taken to York Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to state police. Officials at the scene said both men were walking and talking but had suffered facial lacerations.
